i contacted Sonja (pocomutt) and am waiting to hear back from her. i dont' want to ask more than one person at a time because I don't want to get into one of those situations where someone feels like i jipped them

so we will see if she is up to it. she has custom made things for me before and i have been extremely happy. if she isn't up for it...I will try others

thanks for the tips
i am thinking she would be a cute black cat LOL
